i just remembered how messed up the ovid telling of hades and persephone is . god
#theres no consent#persephones last words before being dragged into the earth are calling for her mother#iirc aphrodite was mad that persephone wanted to stay a virgin and she didnt want the ternal virgin list to expand#so she deliberately made hades smitten to which he fully kidnapped her#when i was younger i read about gaea not liking demeter? and working with hades to lure persephone down#and persephone was starving down in the underworld she was despairing until she heard of her mother again#theres the disney themed version of controlling parents and happy peaceful willful love#but theres also the horrifying picture of petty jealousy tearing a child from their parent and hurting that innocent child#i feel like since hades usually takes the backseat they arent talked of so often and its easier to draw an appealing interpretation#but oh man its screwed up#it really does run in the family#what if she really did just wanna hang out with her mom n her friends and pick flowers what then#and now shes running a country called dead people ville#auugu#soup talk
